Chapter 479: Game Goes Viral

"Police comrades, I've told everything I need to tell." After finishing his statement, Li Hao looked at Han Fei and Xu Mo and said.

Han Fei silently nodded.

Through Li Hao's description, he finally figured out the whole chain of events.

The murder case originated when Liang Youping approached his old prison‑time friend Li Hao and hired him to help with a killing.

However, even though Li Hao had been incarcerated, he had never killed anyone; being abruptly asked to commit murder, he was too afraid, so he sought out a fellow inmate who had killed before, Xiang Jun.

But after Li Hao and Xiang Jun took Liang Youping's money, they not only refused to kill for him, they instead used Liang Youping's intention to hire a hitman to blackmail him, repeatedly demanding money from him.

Perhaps fearing that the two would expose his plan to hire a hitman, or simply unable to satisfy these bottomless pits, Liang Youping conceived a malicious idea, thinking of sowing discord to turn Li Hao and Xiang Jun against each other.

Liang Youping succeeded; he colluded with the duped Li Hao to kill Xiang Jun. However, afterward Li Hao realized Liang Youping had been deceiving him, and fearing that Liang Youping would later kill him too, he struck first and preemptively killed Liang Youping.

The case was rather complicated; if it weren't for the police discovering Li Hao's bodily fluids inside the body of Liang Youping's sister‑in‑law who was killed together with him, apprehending Li Hao, and successfully extracting the whole story from his mouth, they might still be clueless about the chain of events.

After briefly organizing the transcript.

Han Fei slowly rose, took the transcript and prepared to walk toward Li Hao, saying at the same time.

"Here's your transcript; take a look, and if everything's fine, sign it."

Before the words even left his mouth, before Han Fei could reach Li Hao with the transcript, Xu Mo, standing nearby, stopped him.

"Hold on, Han Team, it's not over yet."

Not over? Didn't he just finish his statement? Though puzzled, Han Fei still halted his steps, ready to hear what Xu Mo would say next.

The next second, Xu Mo looked at Li Hao with a half‑smile.

"Think about whether you omitted anything; tell us everything at once."

Li Hao shook his head: "I've said everything I needed to say."

"Can't recall? Let me give you a hint," Xu Mo said. "Liang Youping went to the airport to make a getaway, but we didn't find any bank cards, passbooks, or gold and silver ornaments on him. Where did those items go?"

"Don't tell me you don't know. Liang Youping's corpse bore obvious bruises from a beating, and his wrists bore marks from being bound. You robbed his money before killing him, right?"

Xu Mo's gaze burned like a torch as he stared at Li Hao.

Feeling that stare, Li Hao became extremely uneasy; in the end, he couldn't bear the pressure and disclosed the situation he had previously concealed.

"After helping Liang Youping kill Li Hao, he gave me 100,000 yuan, telling me to get out of here and stop bothering him, but I thought 100,000 yuan was too little, not enough to spend, so afterward I contacted him again, used a recorded phone call to threaten him, and got him to give me another one million."

"He agreed, arranging to meet me on a secluded road near the airport. I guessed he intended to kill me there once and for all, and I thought the same, so I brought a knife with me."

"I arrived early, set up an ambush, captured Liang Youping alive, tied him and his sister‑in‑law up and beat them, threatened him to give me his bank‑card password or I would kill him. After obtaining the password, I still killed him."

Originally Li Hao had hidden the stolen money, planning to spend it after his release, but the secret didn't stay hidden; Xu Mo saw through it, and having no choice, Li Hao also confessed.

Xu Mo nodded.

Thus the bruises on Liang Youping's body caused by the beating now had an explanation.

Besides murder, Throw Corpse, and qj, Li Hao now faced an additional charge: robbery.

Han Fei added a few more entries to the transcript, then finally took it to Li Hao for his signature.

Xu Mo's earlier remarks were things Li Hao truly hadn't noticed or considered, mainly because the case was indeed quite complicated.

After hearing Li Hao's confession, Han Fei forgot the bruises on Liang Youping's body caused by the beating, and for a moment couldn't recall them.

Later, under Li Hao's guidance, the officers located the loot he had stolen from Liang Youping and hidden for spending after his next release, and dealt with the stolen money.

Not long after this case was fully wrapped up.

A system notification sound rang in Xu Mo's mind again.

"You successfully captured the criminal and earned a reward—100,000 Digital Currency."

Digital Currency? Isn't that thing already tanked now?

Xu Mo still knew about Digital Currency.

Digital Currency, which once fetched over 300,000 per unit, has now fallen from its pedestal; to date its value has dropped to roughly one‑tenth of its original price, and it continues to decline.

A hundred thousand Digital Currency a year ago was indeed worth a lot, but now… a hundred thousand is worth only a few bucks.

Why does System Reward give me this thing?

Could Digital Currency still appreciate? Xu Mo couldn't help recalling the system's previous maneuver.

Not long ago, System Reward granted him a share of an obscure game company's stock, and shortly thereafter the company's game caught fire on a small scale, causing the company's stock to soar.

Thinking that, Xu Mo simply stopped paying attention to the Digital Currency reward and instead packed his things, finished work, and went home.

Investigating this case took Xu Mo a long time.

Just drawing the portrait took over four hours; by the time he got home, it was already ten p. m.

After a simple midnight snack at home and playing some games with the four girls, Xu Mo finally drifted into sleep.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Mo's phone received a series of trending search alerts.

This trending topic was still related to Xu Mo.

The game released by the game company in which he held shares topped the download charts on major software platforms.

Moreover, the game not only received excellent reception domestically but also performed similarly on overseas platforms, virtually occupying the top spot in the charts of all major software stores nationwide.

The game went completely viral!

Along with the game's rise, the game company behind it also surged.

The company's stock surged wildly, hitting three consecutive daily limit‑up boards.

Besides the stock's limit‑up, many heavyweight investors also set their sights on this juicy opportunity, viewing it very favorably and approaching the company to invest for shares.

The game company's boss even held a Press Conference about it.

At the Press Conference, the company's boss solemnly thanked one person: Xu Mo!

When the game company was at its most difficult, Xu Mo invested five million to acquire a thirty‑percent stake, propping up the company on the brink of collapse.

When the news broke, netizens went into a frenzy.

Five million bought a thirty percent stake?!

Xu Mo's investment eye is just too strong!

If the game company keeps developing at its current pace, in the future, not even five hundred million could buy a thirty percent stake!
